Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a glass dish. The dish is irregularly shaped, resembling an oyster shell, with a wavy edge. It has a shiny, reflective surface that appears to be made of dark-colored glass. The dish is lying on its side, with the opening facing to the right. A number "894" is written in white on the upper left side of the dish. There are two handles on the top of the dish. The background is a plain gray surface, possibly a tablecloth or other fabric. The dish appears to be by artist René Lalique.
